Anyone can get mpox, which is why it’s important to know the signs and how to protect yourself.

As Folsom Street Fair and other large Bay Area events approach, the San Francisco Department of Public Health has issued a press release encouraging continued awareness of mpox. As of August 24, more than 70 mpox cases have been reported in San Francisco this year, including eight clade I mpox cases (which can be more severe).

Symptoms may start with flu-like symptoms such as fever, swollen lymph nodes or fatigue, followed by a rash that looks like pimples or blisters and can be painful. The two-dose mpox vaccine is strongly encouraged for people at risk and remains the best protection against infection.

For more information about mpox symptoms, prevention, vaccination, testing and treatment, visit the California Department of Public Health mpox webpage at https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/Mpox.aspx

August is National Breastfeeding Month, a time to recognize the importance of supporting families throughout their feeding journeys.

At the July 28, 2026, Board of Supervisors meeting, the Solano County Board formally recognized this observance. The meeting featured remarks from WIC Regional Breastfeeding Liaison, Andrea Dimas and a testimonial from Melina Madrigal, a graduate of the Breastfeeding Peer Counseling Program, who shared her personal breastfeeding journey and the impact that support had on her experience.

The observance continues with the 9th Annual Donor Human Milk Drive & Celebration on August 6, 2026, at 2101 Courage Drive in Fairfield. Join us to celebrate breastfeeding families, connect with local resources, and learn how you can support or donate human milk.

Donated human milk helps save the lives of vulnerable infants. If you're able, consider becoming a donor or helping spread the word about the lifelong benefits of breastfeeding for both babies and parents.

On Thursday, August 6th from 11am-1:30pm, the Breastfeeding Coalition of Solano County will be celebrating our 9th annual National Breastfeeding Month Celebration! We invite you and your family to join us and visit the various community organizations in attendance that will be sharing resources for families as well as fun activities for everyone to experience that focus on how breastfeeding is the foundation for optimal nutrition, health and well-being, and a healthy community!

In addition, The Breastfeeding Coalition and the Solano County WIC Program are partnering with the San Jose Mother’s Milk Bank to encourage mothers to donate their extra breast milk for babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Just ¼ ounce of donated breast milk can help the tiniest of premature infants thrive.
